Removal of stains from cloth upholstery
Dirty cloth upholstery can be treated using special detergents which are
available through your Volvo dealer. Other chemicals may impair the
fire-resistant properties of the upholstery.
It is always best to remove stains immediately, before they have dried.
Stains should be dissolved, not rubbed in or scrubbed away with a hard
brush.
Removal of stains from vinyl
Never scrape or rub a stain. Never use strong stain removing agents.
Wipe with a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
Removal of stains from leather upholstery
Wipe the soiled leather surface with a soft moist cloth.
Never use strong detergents, petrol, alcohol etc.
We recommend the use of Volvo's leather-care kit once or twice a
year so as to keep the leather supple and comfortable.
Stain removing agent
Use Volvo's fabric cleaner.
Otherwise we recommend the following method:
Ammonia solution: 1 teaspoon ammonia (approx. 90%) mixed with
3 dl water.
Ammonia/soap solution: The above ammonia solution is mixed with
1 dl soap suds. Soap suds can be made from such substances as colour-
less cosmetic soap which is dissolved in lukewarm water.
Removing stains from fabrics and floor mats
Remove stains as soon as possible.
Scrape off the dirt with a blunt knife or similar instrument. Soak up as
much of the dirt as possible with clean white rags and remove the sur-
plus with a vacuum cleaner so that surrounding dirt is not dissolved.
Moisten a clean white rag with solvent and apply to the soiled area.
Now remove the solvent and dirt with clean cotton wool. Repeat until
the stain disappears.
Bear in mind:
•
Take extra care when removing stains such as ink, lipstick and other
colouring agents since the solvent may dissolve the colour and spread
the stain.
•
Use solvents sparingly. Too much solvent can damage the seat pad-
ding.
•
Always start from the outside of the stain and work towards the
centre.
Cleaning the seat belts
Use lukewarm water and a mild synthetic detergent.
